Computer use after a three snip procedure is usually possible within a day or two, although tearing or dryness may temporarily worsen strain.
Starting gently with screens
Once discomfort is mild and vision reasonably clear, short computer sessions are often fine. Increase time gradually.
- Begin with brief periods of screen work, then build up as comfort allows
- Use lubricating drops before and during screen use
- Follow the 20-20-20 rule to rest your eyes regularly
- Increase font size and adjust brightness to reduce effort
- Pause if the eye becomes sore or very watery
Protecting the inner eyelid while working
Good habits help the incision heal while you return to normal tasks. Small adjustments can make a big difference.
- Avoid rubbing the inner corner if it feels itchy
- Keep your workstation free from dust and strong air currents
- Maintain any lid hygiene routine recommended by your clinician
- Clean glasses regularly for clear, comfortable vision
- Mention ongoing strain or watering at follow-up
